They did indeed state that gasoline was already at $1.02 in Lower Sackville, $1.08 in Porters Lake, and .93 per litre in Cape Breton. It is not unreasonable to accept such statements as reliable when made by the management of a service station that ought to be in a position to know. And your pompous comments about violating an ISP's Terms of Service are ludicrous and absurd. You diminish your own credibility with that kind of 'crap'. Enjoy your week.
